I have this model and I have a hard time removing the wand attachment. I can't find the instruction manual. Is there a "trick" to it?

Not sure exactly which wand attachment you are having problems with. I just push in the red button and it releases from the unit and then slides onto the hose with a click. If it's the longer piece just pull up on it and it will come off. It will also attach to the hose with a click. I'll go home for lunch and check for sure.

The wand with black bristle sitting to the right comes off with a few pounds of force pulling straight up. Never had issues taking it off or clicking into place.

I have a longer (~14") angled pipe at the shower head, and this seems to give quite a bit when removing/replacing the handheld wand. I have found the secret of removal to be placing my thumb on the outer ring while pulling the lower part of the wand outward. So, I push with that thumb while pulling the wand out & up slightly. I hope it works for you!

The wand should have a little blue button on the side. Just push that in and the tip pops out.

There is a picture on the side of the vacuum. It's tricky and you need the tool to grab and twist it on, but it can be done. Hope that helps.

I just jiggle it a little and it comes off! I just love the motor! It saves my husband's arm and shoulder! Hope this helps you!

Margaret, I posted a video on this thread that shows to to remove the mop head. I found it on you tube. If you can't find it above, let me know. But you have to place your foot on the white mop fibers adjacent to where the mop head connects to the plastic round disc and push the mop handle in the opposite direction of where your foot is on the mop fibers. It's hard to describe in words. The video shows how easy it is to do.

I had the same problem when I first attached the blade....and the instructions sucked; I had to figure out how to do it myself. Vibrated so bad that I couldn't hold it. I simply took the blade off and flipped it over and reattached it and that solved it completely. It runs as smoothly and powerfully as I could want now.

Hi! I finally got the blade off my can opener! There is a little lever that says "blade release" that needed to be pushed down, but, I kept moving the handle either too much or not enough while I pulled on it, but, finally, it popped off. Now if I can only remember how I did it for thenext time!! :) Thank you all.

It could be clogged. Maybe try taking a pin/needle and poking inside the end of the wand before using it (machine off).

Very easy to take apart. Just hold the top of sprayer with left hand and counter-clockwise to remove the handle. Just be sure to release the pressure first. I filled up with water and sprayed to clean out the wand. This is a very good sprayer and made my project much easier. Good Luck.

You twist the black area directly underneath the wand to the little unlocked symbol! Hope this helps

I struggled with it too and gave it to my husband. He detached it easily so it isn't the blade; it was me. He thinks he might have pushed it in a little before twisting. Good luck. It really works great when it works!

The wand attaches to the base, but the power brush does not attach at all. I just put mine in the same space where the vacuum is kept until I need it.

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.

The grip requires continuous squeezing or the motor shuts off. The squeezing really tires out your working hand, right one in my case! Should be made easier to use.

push the yellow button( the one that looks ribbed) and pull it out from the top( top being little air cap whatever it is) it is like a second arm that extends out of the wand- then getting it back in you also push the yellow button not sure why that works the wand is fairly clumsy but it will work.

I was trying to replace it on a purple unit but was unable to do so. I received NO instructions with the roller brush which I assumed I would based upon the add so I did not replace it...bought a new vacuum instead. I did call Dyson and they gave me the name and number of a repair service that can talk you through it apparently. I wish you good luck Beth!!
